Laura Comito is the heart and soul of Artworks Studio. Since 1982, Artworks Studio, in one form or another, has been a part of Laura and the creative community in Carroll, Iowa. Laura embarked on a life-long passion for art when as a young child, her mother gave her a set of coloring markers and then drew a house that looked like a house. After that secret was revealed, there was no stopping Laura in her quest to create.

Artworks Studio is where Laura creates her original works in all types of media. Her sister, Cecelia Comito, works with Laura at the studio and creates her own original works.

Coloring outside the lines is encouraged at Artworks Studio. Our studio space is designed to spark your creative flow whether you are looking for creative stimulation, collaboration, or you just need to play for a couple of hours.Artworks Studio offers classes for children and adults throughout the year.
